I am on a recreational softball league on Tuesday evenings. I have played with this team over the last year, and we are AWESOME! It's probably the scrappiest group of softball players any rec league has seen, and I LOVE IT! Our team name is the Nug Busters, and yes, we do like to bust nugs. I personally can't do that before a game, and never have, but most of our team can. Its a blast, and I enjoy every Tuesday we play. However, last Tuesday put my softball career on hold - probably indefinitely.
First off, I have a minor rant - what the fuck is up with the hard core competitive guys who play recreational sports. Those guys are the ULTIMATE douche bags. I mean, I know that you were probably cut from varsity your senior year, and have never recovered, but really? Basing your life worth on a fucking recreational league, and being hard core about it. GET A LIFE!!!! Also, I would like to thank Bud for playing this awesome
radio ad.
Back to the story. We had playoffs this week to see who would play the championship game. Mind you, the Nug Busters are defending champions 2 leagues in a row, and we are not even hard core about it. Its more, a "Yeah, we win! Lets get drinks" or a "No, we lost! Lets get drinks" type of winning.
So, we were playing this utterly hard core douche bag team. This team was awful. They were one of those teams who kept yelling stuff like; "Ryan, keep your shoulder up when you are batting" "Natalie, watch for your pitch - you struck out twice last week, and we don't want that this week" "JON - WTF???? HOW DID YOU NOT CATCH THAT FUCKING BALL - KEEP YOUR HEAD IN THE GAME!" So, we had a feeling that this team was going to get a bit out of hand.
Its halfway though the game, and I am up to bat. I hit a grounder to 3rd, and start running to first. Next thing I know, I am on the ground, and everyone is surrounding me. The douche playing 3rd base decides to throw the ball as hard as he can, and instead of throwing it at the first baseman, he throws it at me. It promptly hits me in the side of the head, delivering a TKO. I don't remember much about what happened, but apparently my team mates said when the ball connected with my noggin, it sounded like a ball and a bat connecting. People from the field over heard it. I was out for 10 seconds, came to, and got off the field. Everyone on my team was freaking out, and all of the guys said that they have never seen anything like that, and i was a champion for taking that kind of hit. Fortunately, I had picked up one of my team mates for the game, so she drove me home, and the BF took me to the doctor. Fortunately, there is no internal bleeding, and I should be OK in a couple of days.
I know that this sounds pretty hysterical, and I am sure that I can laugh about it one day, however right now, the left side of my head is so tender that I cannot sleep on my left side, I cannot do my hair, and I have had a throbbing headache for the last 2 days. AND my boss thinks I am going to die any minute because the BF told him to watch me over the next couple of days.
Awesome. So, I did come into work yesterday, and YES, I know that I should not have, however all I did was answer emails. And I did go see the new HP last night - it was awesome. But, I figured I would be doing the same thing at home, so why not just go to work and do that. I also would have watched movies at home, so why not sit in a theater and watch my favorite movie series? I will be taking it easy tonight, cause I am supposed to go to Vegas tomorrow!!!!!!
